Gwain drew his sword without hesitation. With a swift motion, he unleashed Leaves in the Wind.

This sword technique was already known for its speed and ferocity, but with his raging internal strength fueling it, its lethality soared to terrifying heights. He truly meant to kill Xarri!

Even Wyatt could see that Xarri was in serious danger this time–there was no way he would escape unscathed!

Chiara shared the same thought. She had no doubts about Gwain’s talent. He wielded this sword technique flawlessly, leaving his opponent with no room to survive.

“Mr. Xarri, catch this!” Quell tossed her soft sword to Xarri.

Despite being in a precarious situation, he somehow managed to execute Dragon’s Flight, maneuvering his way to the sword just in time.

The crowd was stunned.

However, Gwain was ecstatic. He had deliberately left an opening, luring Xarri into reaching for the sword- only to trap him. As long as he kept Xarri in the air, no amount of agility would help him evade the incoming strikes!

Chiara saw through Gwain’s plan as well. The moment he executed Leaves in the Wind, it would seal off all of Xarri’s escape routes. This time, there was no doubt–Xarri was doomed.

And yet, the unthinkable happened.

Xarri had already anticipated Gwain’s intentions. Instead of dodging or blocking, he struck first with Celestial Descent, aiming straight for Gwain’s wrist. If he couldn’t evade or parry the attack, then he would force his opponent to withdraw!

“What?!”

Gasps erupted from the crowd.

Wyatt’s eyes widened in disbelief. Xarri had mastered one of the Lannister family’s most advanced sword techniques?

Even he hadn’t grasped it yet! How could Xarri, who had been exiled from the Lannister family at such a young age, possibly know this sword technique?!

Gwain’s face twisted in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

He had trained tirelessly to master Celestial Descent, yet Xarri’s execution was ten times smoother than his own. Not only that, but Xarri’s timing was impeccable–a feat far more difficult than merely knowing the technique!

“Heh.” Chiara couldn’t help but smile, admiration flashing in her eyes.
